|
What are the relative ratios of European, African, and Native American DNA admixture in today’s Argentineans? The topic is meant to sheds light on how Americans, Argentineans, and others perceive “racially” important traits. For example, evidence has been presented that many Argentineans, Americans, and at least one Chilean perceive no African phenotype in the people of Argentina today. If studies were to show that the mean African admixture in Argentineans were, say, 10 percent, we could infer that it takes more African admixture than this to yield an “African-looking” phenotype. Nevertheless, although the topic is interesting, statements that ignore DNA admixture studies cannot move the discussion forward. Hence, replies should focus on DNA admixture studies should be the focus of this topic.
This thread is part one of a four-way split of the previous thread, "Studies on Argentine Population." |
